Half a childhood raised by the law of the banana trees, the other half familiarising with the tides of the Irish sea. I’m Clarisse a multidisciplinary artist based in Dublin.

Living and moving among cultures, histories, languages and assumptions always bring more - a question or an answer? Exploring nature, identity and a sense of belonging, tethered to the shifting future, I trace my past, find my position.

Namimi Studios was created to give myself a space to make, connect and experiment. Playing with clay has been a forgiving journey with every memory made in making revealing itself onto pieces. Pressing, moulding, smushing, trickling and scoring to create textures, movement and synchronicity. An echo, extracted from a recollection of experience and imagination, appreciating the past and embracing the future.
